Iron Quail Ranch

Iron Quail Ranch, a goat breeder in Marana, AZ in Southern Arizona near Tucson, focuses on consistent well-being across its small herd. The operation adheres to health-testing protocols recommended by national goat associations and works with regional veterinarians to monitor wellness and genetic soundness.

Herds graze on open paddocks bordered by native mesquite, with automatic waterers and shaded shelters available round the clock. Young goats enjoy daily gentle handling sessions and early exposure to diverse terrain, promoting confidence and resilience. Hoof trimming and dental checks occur on a regular schedule to prevent common issues, and dietary plans adjust seasonally to match nutritional needs.

Owner Michael Rodocker applies principles of sustainable agriculture, balancing pasture health with rotational grazing and minimal supplemental feeds. Local customers value the ranch’s calm atmosphere, clear communication on herd updates and the transparent approach to responsible breeding.
